Fire-Maple "Fixed Star 1" Backpacking and Camping Stove System | Outdoor Propane Cooking Gear | Portable Pot/Jet Burner Set | Ideal for Hiking, Trekking, Fishing, Hunting Trips and Emergency Use

I recently picked up the Fire-Maple Fixed Star 1 portable cooking stove, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s lightweight, compact, and comes with both an integrated igniter and a fuel regulator — making it incredibly easy to use right out of the box. One feature I really appreciated was the regulator knob, which allows you to fine-tune the flame. Whether you’re simmering or bringing water to a quick boil, the control you get with this stove makes outdoor cooking much more enjoyable. I'll admit I was skeptical at first — the Fixed Star 1 is priced lower than some of the bigger-name brands, and buying a lesser-known product can be a bit of a gamble. But this turned out to be a true gem for the price. It's well-built, efficient, and performs just as well as more expensive stoves I’ve used in the past. Another plus: I was able to detach the base and use it with a small cooking pan, which added even more versatility to my setup. Overall, if you're looking for a reliable and affordable portable stove, the Fire-Maple Fixed Star 1 is definitely worth considering.

Works great. I also ordered the adapter for the regular green 1lb bottles of propane with it. As well as the French press kit too. It made my cowboy coffee perfectly and it was faster then my regular coffee pot. The only thing I would change is put arrows on which way to turn the gas knob for high and off on the side of the burner. It was easy to light and use. It also packs down pretty small so storage is alot easier in my camping rig. I can see where it would be versatile for cooking small amounts of food like canned stew or noodle etc. It works as well as the bigger name version but costs alot less.

I went into this purchase with managed expectations, especially since I passed on more expensive name brands like Jetboil. I'm glad I did. This stove has exceeded all my expectations in terms of fit, functionality, and compactness. The fuel canister fits neatly inside the pot with the stove, making it extremely portable and packable—perfect for quick access on the go. I tested it at home first (always a good idea), and it performed flawlessly. On a recent trip through rural Kansas, it came in clutch. I was able to boil water in about 2 minutes, letting me rehydrate homemade freeze-dried meals and brew a solid cup of coffee right at a rest stop. There was zero leakage, even after being jostled around in my pack. The stove quality feels solid and reliable—definitely not cheap or flimsy. This will be a staple for future camping and fishing trips. Highly versatile, incredibly functional, and totally worth the buy. If you're on the fence, don’t let the brand name steer you away—this one delivers.

Awesome little thing. As some other reviewers have mentioned I've come across a couple of issues. While its quality is great and it definitely beats Jetboil for value, there is the issue of the extra air hole in the lid and the gas canister attachment leak. As far as the lack of an air hole I just poked one in the lid. I don't think it necessary though, as I don't put the lid all the way on when using and can just take it off. As far as the gas issue... when screwing it on, it does let out a small amount of gas/liquid. We tested it anyway, and it fits and works perfectly. The leaking only happens for a tiny period of time as you screw it on. Admittedly it really jumpscared me (it's loud and drips a drop or two) but I think this is a minor issue in the long run. My dad's Jetboil leaks in the same way, but it leaks far less as you screw it on. I'll consider it a normal thing. For the record, we were using the same canister for both this and the Jetboil. As far as the rest of it, like I said, quality is great, it all works really well, had my coffee water boiling in less than 3.5 minutes. The flame is louder and stronger than the Jetboil. It sounds more like a jet engine, lol. I 9/10 recommend it. It has been fantastic so far.

Llevé esta estufa hasta el albergue Norte del Pico de Orizaba en México, aprox. 4500 msnm y días de 0°C, y funcionó perfectamente. Mucho más económica que la misma versión de marca famosa.

Absolute must if you do Van life boils, water, super fast, so less condensation in your air and less fuel from your stove

This is a review is post coming up to one year after purchase. Going strong, lives up to all it claims very happy. I use it for boiling water and anything that is a soup. Works amazing.

Great bit of kit, rolling boil under 2.5 min. Impressive, and the price is great for what you get. I would buy it again.

I'm glad I checked this before I took it camping. The valve came broken or something, and attaching the gas canister made it loudly release a bunch of gas cloud and white stuff. It got on me and my porch. Was too scared to touch the ignition. I had to detach the item right away. I tried it twice to make sure the valve was closed both times. Now I am not able to return it or get a refund at all. Money wasted. :(
